Just watched it, I agree with the guys it's definitely a game made for proper RT reflections and focusing on that rather than shadows/lighting and all that. Also it bodes well for the console ones to get a lesser rtx boost.
Definitely play through it again once the patch is out, ID's Engine and the 4a Engine are something else.

Really looking forward to see what they can do with the enhanced metro on consoles!

The ray tracing in metro now is way beyond what I've seen before. I can't stop playing it after the new patch.

As you say, it will be good to see what they can do with it on consoles so people can see what ray tracing is all about and I have a feeling it may port well considering the optimisation in comparison to other ray traced games so far.

Control on PS5 looks pretty decent with a reasonable level of RT. Not a patch on the PC version of course, but their engine isn't particularly great so I'd expect future games to get to a decent enough level for console gamers to see a real difference.

They have to spread lies to justify themselves spending £450 on a console with no new games. Sad life.
Actually its true.

But having done some research on the issue it seems to be some sort of feature of the suit to make it look like he is lagging.... take a look at this.

This feature really annoyed me whilst playing it turned me off the game completely. Now I can probably go back to it and finish it.


Besides in regards to ray tracing performance i am underwhelmed so far. I feel the console can do with more power. The current consoles are at least 2 generations away from matching a 3080ti. PC gaming just gets held back as a resort.

It's AMD's fault on both console and PC.

Though they've had a cracking generation with their CPUs, their GPUs and the lack of foresight with raytracing and no proper answer to DLSS has left them, including those in the consoles, in the dust already. Not just graphically either, in terms of Raytracing it could also be used to properly track audio (we might have finally got proper sound in fps games for example) or advanced AI. Now those are less likely to happen, as widespread as using it for stuff like reflections or shadows anyway.

They've dropped the ball big time. Expect the next wave of GPUs and the inevitable "pro" consoles to be playing catch up and have hardware support for RTX at least.

2 generations? Anyway, Consoles have never been competing with high end PC's. The type of PC only a small subset of people have and paid a lot to get I might add. What were you expecting for £450?

Not played the game, but I've seen into the spider verse. As soon as I seen the "lag" I knew it was a feature as it was very much like he moves the film.

Have you not seen Into the Spiderverse?

The 12fps was an intentional design choice for that suit because of the film.

Into the Spiderman is a good watch if you haven't seen it by the way. Even @Mockney probably doesn't hate it.

While that's all well and good, 90% of games on Metacritic made by a AAA developer seem to get 75 or above.

It's the most pointless website on all of the internet because of the grade inflation.

Even Outriders, which looks like absolute pish, is sitting on 73.

Here's one review that score 85 :lol:

At times, the game is nearly unplayable, and more than once, I’ve either crashed or watched a teammate crash at the final Drop Pod, or during a story cinematic. Still, Outriders manages to entertain far more than it frustrates. If you were like me, scoffing at the demo, thinking that there was nothing more in this shallow looter-shooter, it’s time to think again. If you’re looking for a challenge, and you don’t mind the interstellar flight to Enoch to find it, Outriders is the game for you.

I dunno what my point is really. I just hate Metacritic.

A long winded way of avoiding that Xbox has a handful of highly rated exclusive games in the past 15 years?

but have invested heavily to rectify. We shall see if it works or not.

PS4/5s genres/exclusives never pulled me in. I’ve literally typed in “best PlayStation exclusives” and in the top 10 or 20, I’d not jump at playing any in all honesty.

I did buy a PS4 and played Uncharted - but I barely played a couple of hours.

There is content there, but just meh.

That's strange because I typed in "best Microsoft exclusives" and got "404 Page Not Found".

If i take out forza (granted its a great game) since the release of the Xbox One (November 2013)

Quick scan scoring over 85 on metacritic/opencritic (may of missed a few just know off the top my head what is/not exclusive)

i get a grand total of

ori will of wisp
ori blind forest
titanfall
Halo master chief collection

4 games in 8 years. (there is 5 forza's ranked above 85 in the same period)

Spin it how you want, PS5 has 4 already.

This must be personal preference in gaming or a fan boys defence of Xbox as there are some amazing exclusives on PS.

I'm not into the PS v Xbox war either, I managed to get both new gen consoles so I don't miss anything. Both great machines!

I've already played 95% of those games.

Have we moved the goal posts now the Xbox is the most value for money if you haven't players any games or owned a console before, you can have that one :lol:

I think you'll find the majority of people who own consoles haven't' got near the time to have played 95% of those games, never mind complete them. Xbox is better for the majority of people.

That would certainly explain why the majority previously bought playstation and are doing the same this generation, got it.

I had game pass on PC for a year thanks to all those loopholes and had exhausted everything I wanted to play within a few months. After that once I copped that every other game on it or added that was worth playing was one I'd already played before, I decided not to renew.

Gamepass is great if you have the nostalgia factor and want to play older games or maybe aren't a heavy gamer and didn't play all those great games when they first came out, but it's far from the brilliant service it's hyped up to be for someone who actually wants to play newer games when they are out. And as a next gen service, it's very lacking right now, there is feck all on it that actually pushes the power of the Series X.

Since when does the opinion of the masses actually reflect truth? People are idiots - this thread is a testament to that.

Ahh yes the intelligent ones are the people buying the console with 4 exclusive games (which aren't forza) in near 10 years.

Its like you buy a console to play the best games, silly me.
